A pregnant woman was arrested Monday for allegedly driving drunk in Orange County with her two kids in the car. 
Police say they also found drugs in Danielle Gaetano's vehicle.
Wallkill police say an off-duty sheriff's deputy saw the pregnant woman with her two young children at a McDonald's on Friday. He noticed she appeared visibly drunk, and he called for help.
Police say they found the 32-year-old trying to drive away from the Wallkill restaurant on Route 211 with her 5-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter in the backseat. Gaetano, who is five months pregnant, was arrested.
Officers say they also found 276 oxycodone pills and a switchblade knife in her car.
Gaetano was taken to the hospital to ensure she and her unborn baby were OK. She was then jailed, and police say her children were turned over to a family member.
She resides in Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania.
